HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

Your farm is a bank which will re-
ward you according to your merit.
Farmers are gradually awaking to
the fact that scientific farming under
practical control pays.
Ducks should be allowed as much
liberty as possible, as they are not par
tial to confinement, like Chickens

mand for the best. Farm, Field and

chicken in boiling lard; when done, put
in sliced tomatoes and fry; take up;

An English gardener, who has
great success in raising radishes, makes
his radish beds with nearly or quite
one-half soft coal ashes and SCOT. I'M
der this plan his beds are not infested
with worms.
The most successful farmers, in the
long run, are those who have some
thing to sell at all seasons of the year.

Sugar Cookies-One and one-hali

spoonfuls baking powder and flour to

Every improvement in the garden,
says the Orange County Farmer, re-
duces the demand for the doctor
services. Let fruits do away with the
demand for drugs of all kinds, and ex-
cellent vegetables in part replace the
excessive use of animal food.
The English Mechanic gives the
following formula for axle grease: Tai

That the "yellows" in peaches i

the fact that the microscope shows NJ
fungi on the leaves, fruit, wood o

trary to the claim that it is not conta
gious, however, is the spreading of tn
disease over whole sections after max

Whether the "yellows' be really a con
tagious disease or due to some sub
stance found or lacking in the soil

BRUTAL SUPERSTITION.
Securing Stability of a Building by Bury
ing a Body in Its Walls.

Securing Stability of Building by Bury
ing Body in It's Walls.
In many cases the recollection that a
death occurred when the church or
castle was built fingers on, but its cause
is forgotten, and legend has been
invented to account for it. This is
probably the origin of the stories of the
murder of an apprentice by his master.
An apprentice was killed and buried in
the wall, not out of jealousy, but out
of a notion of giving stability to the
wall. Perhaps the Mohammedans have
a similar notion, for when the walls OF
Algiers were built of blocks of con-
crete, in the sixteenth century, Chris
tan captive named Geronimo was
placed in one of the blocks and the
rampant built over and about him.
Since the French occupation of Algiers
a subsistence in the wall led to an ex-
animation of the blocks, and one was
found to have given away. 1t was re-
moved, and the cast of Geronimo was
discovered in the block. The body had
gone to dust, and the superintendent
weight had crushed in the stone sar-
cophagus. The block is now, we believe,
preserved in the cathedral of Algier 5.
In l514 the spire of the cathedral church
of Copenhagen was erected. A car
penter's assistant had an alteration
with his master as to which had the
steadiest brain. Then the master ran
a beam out from the top of the tower,
took an axe in his hand, walked out on
the beam, and struck the axe into the
end of it. There" said he to the man
on his return, "go out and recover the
axe" The assistant instantly obeyed.
He walked out; but when he was stoop-
ing to take hold of the axe it seemed to
him that it was double. Then he asked /:
master, which of them?n The master
saw that he had lost his head, and it
was all up with the man, so he said:
"God be with your soull' At the same
moment the man fell, and was dashed
to pieces in the market-place at the
foot of the tower. 1t is possible that
this may be the true version of the
story; but it is more likely that the
man was flung down by his master,
with deliberate purpose. to secure 6y
his death the stability of the spire he
had ereeted--C0rAsiA 4aSazi'se.

Neatness in Girls.

Neatncss is good thing for girl,
and if she does not learn it when she is
young she never will. 1t takes a great
deal more neatness to make girl look
well than it does to make boy look
passable. Not because boy is better
looking than a girl, but his clothes are
of different sort-not so many colors
in them; and people don't expect a
boy to look as pretty as girl. A girl
that is not neatly dressed is called a
sloven, and no one likes to look at her.
Her face may be pretty and her eyes
bright but if there is a spot on her
cheek, and her fingers ends are stained
with ink, and her shoes are not laced,
and her apron is dirty, and her collar
unbuttoned or her skirt torn, she can
not be liked. Learn to be neat, and
when you have learned it, it viii al
most take care of itself.-BNptisl

Borneo's Flying Tree-Frog.

One of the most curious and interest
inc reptiles which met with in Borneo
was alarge tree-frog, which was brought
me by one of the Chinese workmen. He
assured me that he had seen it come
down, in u slanting direction, from a
high tree, as if it flew. On examining
it, found the toes very long and fully
webbed to their very extremity, so that
when expanded they offered surface
much larger than the body. The fore
lers were also bordered by membrane,
and the body was capable of consider
able initiation. The back and limbs
were of very deep shining green color,
the under surface and the inner toes
yellow, while the webs were black,
rayed with yellow. The body was
about four inches in length, while tho
webs of each hind foot, when fully ex-
banded, covered surface of four square
inches. and the webs of all the feet to-
gethcr about twelve square inches. As
the extremities of the toes have dilatcd
disks for adhesion, showing the crea-
ture to be true tree-frog, it is difficult
to imagine that this immense membrane
of the toes can be for the purpose oi
swimming only. and the account of the
Chinaman that it flew down from the
tree becomes more credible.-La Ma
ture.

SKIN COSMETICS.

Hot Water the Best Application for
BeautIfying the Complexion.
1t is true that some skin cosmetics
do for the time being disguise bad
complexion, but at the cost, certainly,
of making bad worse. The base OF
pastes, pomades and face unguents are
more or less alike, white wax,
spermaceti, honey and oil of almonds
being common to them all. The only
possible advantage these prepare tons
can possess is to soften the skin, which
may be far better accomplished by rub
bing into the face at night lotion
composed of equal parts of glycerine
and rose-water, the face being pre-
viously well washed in hot water.
This will do all that is required, and is
greatly superior to besmearing the
skin with thick pastes, which block up
its pores.
Even the most superficial knowledge
of the skin and its functions must
clearly demonstrate that one and all Of
these cosmetics do more harm than
good, and are better avoided alto
gether. That celebrated authority on
skin diseases, Sir Erasmus Wilson,
gives the subjoined instructions for
washing the face, in his able work,
"Healthy Skin," which are infinitely
superior to all the quack specifics Sc
widely advertised: "Fill your basin
about two-thirds full of fresh water,
dip your face in the water, and then
your hands. Soap the hands well, and
pass them with gentle friction over the
whole face. Then dip the face in the
water a second time and rinse il
thoroughly. A second basin ready
with fresh water is q valuable addition.
The wrong ways are using the towel,
sponge or flannel as means of con-
vcying the soap to the face, and omit
ting the rinsing at conclusion. Then,
as regards drying the face, moder-
ately thick and soft towel should be
used; very rough one is not desir-
able, nor one of thick texture" A re-
nowned vender of skin cosmetics was
once asked by friend what was the
best application for identifying and
preserving the complexion. "Wash
your face well every night and morn
ing in very hot WATER" was the reply,
No better advice can be given, as by
this means we assist materially the
skins natural action, and obviatc
blockage of its follicles. Rain or dis
titled water, owing to their purity and
softness, are best for washing the face

The Correct Time.


There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
time; and wonderful and delicate mechan-
isms are devised to enable them to do so.
But the more delicate a chronometer is
made, the more subject it becomes to de-
rangement, and unless it be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness.
What wonder, then, that the human MAJ
chinese much more delicate aud intricate
than any work of Man-should require to
be kept thoroughly cleansed., The liver is
the handspring OF this complex structure,
and on the impurities left in the blood by a
disordered liver, depend most of the ills
that flesh is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung scrofula), is traceakle to the
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney
diseases, skin Diseases sick headache, heart
disease, dropsy, and long catalogue OF
grave maladies have their origin in tor.
pld, or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's Golden
healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as
cure and preventive of these diseases.

The COnHstOck.

Mining on the Comstock is nov
showing unusual activity. The
bullion yield of Con. Cal. & Va.
mine is large and the bonanza APP
parehtly inexhaustive. Miners
have said in our hearing within the
last twenty four hours that the ore
body in this mine looked better
now than for four months past. The
uncovering of large ore bodies is ex-
pected soon in the Chollar, Potosi
and other so called middle mines.
The Yellow Jacket continues to
yield large amounts OF bullion. In
the Crown Point there is discovered
a new ore body that gives great
promise. Considerable is expected
of the Alta and other Lower Gold
Hill mines. In short, from the
Sierra Nevada to the Justice the
whole series OF mines has healthy
and promising look. Mining pros
perlty on the Comstock means pros
perity for the whole State, strange
as it may seem, Eastern mining
regard the Comstock as
Nevada. The decline within the
last few years of Comstock shares
has kept out of mining investment
here hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. The leading mining men of
the coast say that in a real Com
stock boom mining property any
where in Nevada could be sold at
an advantage.
